STRAW MANURE.
How o Fine Quality Can BE Produced
Within Six Months.

How o Fine Quality Can BE Produced
within Six Months.
In the West the object is to feed one
third of the straw-stack and convert
the balance into manure as rapidly as
possible. The straw trampled under
foot by the cattle will not thoroughly
rot within a year if left to itself. To
rot and fine it. it must be stirred about.
and the swine can be made to do this
work. If the hogs are fed on the straw
once a week they will move the entire
mass, unless quite deep, roofing after
stray grains. If their noses do not get
to the bottom of the heap. sharpen y
heavy stake and prod it through the
straw; then withdraw it and drop
shelled corn or oats into the hole.
In this way a hole can be made
every few feet over the pile,
and the hogs will turn the
manure thoroughly. A hogs snout is
q very cheap and effective manure
hook. The hogs must not be allowed
to lie on the rotting straw, rs this Is al
most sure to produce disease among
them. They become too warm, and
then when they come into tho open air
they contract colds, catarrhal or pull
monary diseases. II the hogs are used
as above recommended, straw can be
converted into well-rotted and fined
manure with six months; and il the
straw-stack is put on level ground. not
much will be lost during this rapid con
version. When from twelve to eighteen
months are required for the rotting Of
the manure (aud this time will be re-
when deep masses are not dis
turbed), and the straw, Is on u side
hill, not a little of tho value of the
manure is lost by being washed down
hill. -American 1griculurisG

SINCE THEY WENT AWAY.

tdon't seem nohow like Twin
Since the children went away;
The old house is awful quiet
On this chilly, winter day.
Yet, I hear their voices ringin'
As they used to long ago,
When they played up in the garrett
Meath the rafters droopin' low.
How they used to run an frolic,
Merry lads an lasses all,
Playin' 'mong the herbs and popcorn,
Where the dusky shadows fall;
An the boys they made a teeter,
An the girls they made a swing;
How they used to romp at taggin'
An the noisy posey ring.
How they used to run an scamper
Down the wide. old hallway stairs,
But they was a proper passed.
Durin' holy evenin' prayers.
Well, they left us; and the shadows
Seem to have adeeper gray,
An the house is awful quiet
Since the children went away.
Every chair an table, Hannah,
Lets q dear old fancy free,
Forthoy seem 10 bring the faces
OF the children back to me;
An each corner holds a phantom
HID among the shadows gray,
Butmy eyes grow misty-lookin'
For the dear mi gone away.

PAPER ROOFS.


of FibrouS Pulp Tiles.
A roof pronounced superior to that
of .latc, because of its lightnesS and
other advantages, is now made Of any
tibrous pulp. From this material tiles
of any shape desired arc formed by
pressure under machinery or Ivy any
other method which may suggest itself,
Pressed into the designs wished for. the
pulp tiles are partially dried previous
to being subjected to u waterproof So
luton. Thoroughly imprcgnatcd with
the preparation to resist moisture, they
are baked to harden them in the water
proof mixture. After the baking, the
tiles are surfaced; to this is added q
coating of sand, whereby the pulp is
rendered proof against the action of
heat or fl anne. BY the Use of different
colorcd sands, a variety Of tints may
be impaired to the tiles. which, after
the application of the cnamcling mix
ture and sands. are baked Il second
time, after which they are ready for
use.
Beside the inherent lightncsS of the
pulp tiles, which obviatcs the necessity
of Il heavy frame to support a wcighty
roof. the pulp tile being tough and not
brittle like slate. is far less liable to be
broken from blows, stones thrown
upon them. or human footsteps.
Again. slate tiles can not bc laid cons
pactly together on II roof on account
of their brittlcncss, which prevents
their being drawn tightly together by
nails. Through the iibrous pulp nails
may be driven as close home as in
shingles, thereby binding them closely
to the bed and together without any
possibility of lateral movement, or
being blown away in high winds, as
loosely fastened on roofs are.
Nails penetrate the pulp tiles more
,asily than shingles, and line closer to
being more elastic than wood.
